The crankshaft sensor is a key component of the electronic engine management system, monitoring the engine speed and precise position of the crankshaft. This information is transmitted to the engine control unit and is crucial for the precise control of ignition and fuel injection.
The sensor typically operates on the Hall or induction principle and detects the movement of a pulse wheel or toothed ring on the crankshaft. This measurement allows the engine control unit to precisely determine the position of the pistons. This ensures that ignition and injection occur at the optimal time.
Crankshaft position sensors are essential for reliable engine operation, as they provide one of the most important reference values for engine control. Without correct signals from the sensor, the engine cannot be started or run correctly.
Faulty crankshaft position sensors can cause symptoms such as starting problems, rough engine running, loss of power, or sudden engine failure. The check engine light often illuminates as well. Timely replacement ensures that the engine control unit functions accurately again.
